In addition to premature stripping, this package uses a custom configure script that incorrectly chokes on valid LDFLAGS and, left unguided, uses /usr/bin/cc as the C compiler of choice. Based on inspection, exporting CC will override the search logic. The LDFLAGS check tries to feed a finished ELF executable back into the linker for linking, then reports failure when the linker rejects it. Additionally, the ebuild is a bit strange. It passes ${D} to the --prefix for the configure script, causing the package to record the installation area in its Makefile. The ebuild directs the package to install using DESTDIR, but the Makefile does not support DESTDIR. It appears that installation only works because of the incorrect usage of ${D} in --prefix. Finally, there have been several minor releases upstream since the latest version in Portage, but no one has asked for a version bump. The last modified time on the most recent release is Wed, 05 Apr 2006 23:27:56 GMT. This appears to be a leaf package, too. None of these QA issues is particularly hard to fix, but I wonder if anyone actually uses this package. Maintainers, is this a candidate for treecleaning? All issues fixed in magicfilter-2.3h. |
